Why Eric Benét waited 8 years to release new music… with Sway Calloway in the Morning

[@BrandonPenson]

I get where Eric is coming from. Remember when you used to look forward to an album's release for months? Or even have things like album listening parties? I feel like nowadays they can drop it, but you'll either be streaming or downloading it.

Put Eric in the songwriters hall of fame❤❤

I miss these days and I am 40 going on 60... I miss a lot of old things that are not really old it's timeless. Good music and human connection is non existing these days

Eric is pretty much correct. As an avid music lover myself I play the album or CD and while listening to the album I am reading the liner notes to know who wrote the song, the musicians names, the producers of the songs etc. When CD albums started coming out in the late 80s-early 90s the album would be almost an hour long (sometimes with interludes) having songs that are 4-5 minutes long. In the last 10 years songs have become shorter in time (3 minutes long with no instrumentation) albums lasting barely 40-44 minutes long. Alot of people do not value music anymore as Eric says (getting it for free) and there is alot of garbage music out there. I have all of Eric Benet's albums on CD including the one he did with his sister Lisa.

you are 100% correct. I can't stand those 2 min. songs.

[@deewoo2776]

It's like we're going back to the 60s with songs that are 2-2 1/2 minutes long....BORING.....I need to hear a full length song.....even a 12" version or what we used to say (The Long Version).😂
